• DSS Holiday Support

    The Holiday Program provides Thanksgiving and/or Christmas assistance to children and families by matching businesses, church and community groups, and individuals with those in need. Qualifying families submit an application to DSS and provide a list of the names, ages, and clothing sizes of children in the household. Sponsors can then provide their match family with food, grocery store gift cards, or gifts for the children. In addition to sponsors, DSS collaborates with other agencies such as SERVE, Salvation Army, and the American Legion to provide families in need with holiday assistance. The Holiday Program allows disadvantaged members of our community to have a better holiday season.

     

    Families can register online between

    August 30- September 1

  • The Salvation Army typically runs a program for Holiday assistance for children under 12 and adults older than 60. If this applies to you, here is their website: https://saangeltree.org/

    S.E.R.V.E. opens their holiday assistance registration on October 15 until full.  They will be providing meals at Thanksgiving to families without children and meals at Christmas for families with children.  Each child accepted will receive a $25 gift card.  No gifts this year.  This program is open to Stafford residents.  https://www.serve-helps.org/need-help/
